BIBLIOGRAPHICAL  NOTES  ON  THEODORE  WINTHROP 


T 


HE  name  of   Theodore   Winthrop   has   recently  been   given    renewed 
prominence  by  the  devotion  of  a  whole  episode  in  the  Yale  Pageant  to 
his  death.     The  original  manuscripts  of  his  novels  are  in  the  Manuscript 
^pivision  of  The  New  York  Public  Library.     The  story  oi  how  the  plates, 
from  which  his  books  were  printed,  passed  from  publisher  to  publisher  over 
<ft  space  of  forty  years,  is  an  interesting  example  of  the  methods  of  the 
j5\.merican  book  trade.    It  is  also  noteworthy  that  the  circumstances  of  great 
"gallantry  in  which  he  fell  on  the  field  of  battle  started  a  literary  reputation 
which,  in  spite  of  European  competition,  endured  through  several  decades.1 

*£         Theodore  Winthrop  (1828-1861),  an  American  novelist,  was,  I  believe, 

2  the  first  Union  officer  to  fall  in  the  American  Civil  War.    He  died  in  the  bud 

9 

2 of  his  promise.    In  the  words  of  Caroline  Ticknor,  Winthrop  was  "one  of  the 

most  brilliant  and  striking  figures  among  those  who  gave  to  this  nation  the 
^service  of  both  pen  and  sword." 

These  bibliographical  notes  have  been  put  together  at  the  end  of  a  long 
^period  of  study  and  reading  of  the  writings  of  this  splendid  character  —  read- 
ing that  took  me  among  the  mysteries  of  ante-bellum  New  York  life,  far  into 
^the  freshness  of  Western  plains,  and  among  the  wilds  of  Panama  and  Darien. 
Novels  of  action,  poems  of  deep  emotion,  and  brief  significant  notes  written 
H>n  the  march,  these  all  tend  to  show  that  the  United  States  lost,  when  Winthrop 
J:lied,  a  character  who  might  well  have  led  novelists  into  the  new  fields  of 

W 

ocAmerican  nationalism. 
• 

When  the  present  \Var  of  the  Nations  put  a  check  upon  publication,  I  had 
.begun  work  on  an  edition  of  Cecil  Drceme  for  one  of  the  shilling  series.  That 
task,  now  complete,  is  collecting  dust  until  a  publisher  wants  it,  and  I  have 
made  these  present  bibliographical  notes  while  the  subject  is  still  fresh  in  a 
mind  now  turning  to  other  things.  It  is  peculiarly  gratifying  to  find  that 
\Yinthrop  had  a  real  audience  in  Britain,  and  that  at  a  time  when  few  American 
books  were  seriously  considered  in  London,  his  writings  met  with  distinct 
success  and  appeared  in  several  editions. 

Criticisms  and  additional  references  will  be  sincerely  welcomed. 

1  I  hope  someone  who  sees  this  article  will  be  able  to  furnish  additional  information  about  Winthrop's 
books.

4  THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

The  arrangement  adopted  here  requires  some  explanation.  There  are  two 
divisions: 

( 1 )  American  impressions  of  Winthrop's  works, 

(2)  British  importations  and  reprints. 

The  entries  in  the  first  division  are  separated  into  two  sections:  (a) 
A  bibliography,  classified  by  publishers,  by  titles,  chronologically,  of  the 
various  editions  of  the  five  books  which  made  Winthrop's  reputation:  Cecil 
Drecme,  John  Brent,  Edwin  Brothertoft,  The  Canoe  and  the  Saddle,  and  Life 
in  the  Open  Air.  This  shows  the  history  of  the  works  and  the  transference  of 
plates  and  publishing  rights  from  firm  to  firm,  (b)  Other  American  im- 
pressions than  the  five  titles  above  mentioned,  including  magazine  articles 
and  reprints,  in  chronological  order. 

From  the  first  section  we  may  gain  some  idea  of  the  popularity  of  the 
books.  We  may  also  see  that  there  has  been  a  decided  falling-of f  of  interest 
since  1900.  The  Cecil  Drecme  of  the  Dodd,  Mead  and  Company  impression 
is  still  procurable  through  the  publishers,  though  the  other  titles  are  "out  of 
print."  The  Circulating  departments  of  The  New  York  Public  Library  and  of 
the  Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh  state  that  Theodore  Winthrop's  works, 
though  "some  time  ago  in  fairly  active  demand,"  particularly  Cecil  Drecme 
and  John  Brent,  are  subject  now  to  "only  occasional  calls,"  and  that  the 
demand  for  them  is  a  "distinctly  light  demand  for  works  of  these  classes." 

An  asterisk  (*)  signifies  that  the  present  writer  has  seen  the  edition 
mentioned,  either  in  the  Columbia  University  Library,  The  New  York  Public 
Library,  the  Yale  University  Library,  the  British  Museum,  or  in  his  own 
library  or  those  of  his  friends.  When  the  present  writer  has  not  seen  the 
volume,  indication  of  the  source  of  the  information  is  given  as  follows:

Office,  District  of  Massachusetts.

31,  1862.

LIFE  IN  THE  OPEN  AIR  and  OTHER  PAPERS;  entered  by  the  same,  May,  15,  1863, 
copy  deposited  May  29,  1863. 

LIFE  AND  POEMS,  ed.  by  his  sister;  entered  by  Henry  Holt  &  Company,  no.  5530,

MR.  WADDY'S  RETURN;  entered  by  Henry  Holt  &  Company,  Class  A,  no.  99484, 
October  20,  1904,  copies  deposited  October  21,  1904.1 

Examination  of  the  copies  available,  of  the  various  editions  of  Cecil 
Drccmc,  John  Brent,  Edzvin  Brothcrtoft,  The  Canoe  and  the  Saddle,  and 
Life  in  the  Open  Air  and  Other  Papers,  listed  in  the  following  first  section 
of  the  first  division  of  the  Bibliography,  indicates  that  all  impressions,  from 
the  original  one  of  1861  to  the  Dodd,  Mead  and  Company  editions  of  1899, 
were  taken  from  the  original  Ticknor  and  Fields  stereotype  plates.  Passing 
from  edition  to  edition,  certain  flaws  in  the  printing  appear  from  time  to  time, 
letters  are  damaged,  line  rules  are  battered  so  as  to  print  broad,  and  the  flaw 
once  appearing  is  thereafter  always  repeated.  The  pagination  is  the  same  for 
each  separate  title,  though  the  publishers  may  change. 

This  of  course  does  not  apply  to  English  editions,  nor  to  the  amplified 
edition  by  John  H.  Williams  of  Tacoma,  Washington.

All  Henry  Holt  editions  in  the  Leisure  Hour  Series,  but  not  numbered 
serially. 

The  above  facts  are  extracted  from  a  letter  to  the  present  writer  from  Henry 
Holt  and  Company.  All  of  the  Winthrop  books  of  the  Holt  impression  which  the 
present  writer  has  seen  bear  the  date  1876,  and  there  does  not  seem  to  be  any 
record  of  Holt  editions  with  other  dates.  From  which  we  may  infer  that  the  same 
title-page  was  used  in  all  reprintings. 

The  present  writer  has  consulted  copies  of  these  series  in  The  New  York 
Public  Library,  the  Yale  University  Library,  and  in  his  own  library  and  those  of 
his  friends.  He  has  also  used  information  in  the  American  Catalogue,  the  Library 
of  Congress  Depository  Catalogue  in  The  New  York  Public  Library,  and  in 
transcriptions  of  Boston  Public  Library  catalogue  cards.  Cecil  Dreeme  was  no.

Cecil  Drceme;  Boston:  1862.  Eng.  Cat.  1835-62

John  Brent;  Boston:   1862.  Eng.  Cat.  1835-62 

Probably  an  importation  of  one  of  the  Ticknor  and  Fields  editions.

Probably  an  importation  of  one  of  the  Ticknor  and  Fields  editions.

Edwin  Brothertoft;  Boston:  — ? — 

In  the  Westminster  Review,  July,  1865,  vol.  84.  p.  163,  there  is  a  review  of 
"The  works  of  Theodore  Winthrop,"  5  vols.,  Boston:  Ticknor  and  Fields.  London: 
Triibner  and  Company.  Triibner  and  Company  were  thus  probably  the  importers 
of  the  Winthrop  books.  The  English  Catalogue  makes  no  mention  of  them  in 
connection  with  the  works  of  Theodore  Winthrop.  There  is  no  record  of  publica- 
tion or  importation  of  Edwin  Brothrrtoft  in  England  until  the  1876  Henry  Holt 
importation  and  the  1883  Paterson  publication,  yet  the  Westminster  Review 
article  above  mentioned  includes  it  as  one  of  the  "5  vols." 


For  obvious  reasons  the  authenticity  of  this  is  doubtful.

A  copy  (12703  i.  5.)  acquired  by  the  British  Museum  14  January,  1884.  is 
paged:  2  [title]  +  i-vi -f  1-54  [double  column].  It  contains  the  Curtis  biographical 
sketch  of  the  author  and  advertisements  of  Cecil  Dreeme  and  John  Brent.  It  was 
published  by  Macrone  at  Glasgow,  by  Menzies  &  Co.,  at  Edinburgh  and  by

Canoe  and  the  Saddle 

These  four  have  been  recently  issued  by  the  Walter  Scott  Publishing  Com- 
pany, Ltd.,  of  Felling-on-Tyne  and  London,  in  their  New  England  Library  at  2s., 
and  Cecil  Dreeme  also  appears  in  their  Million  Library  at  Is.  6d.,  and  in  their 
Brotherhood  Library  at  2s.  6d. 

The  connection  is  rather  clear  between  this  New  England  Library  and  Pater- 
son's  New  England  Novels.  It  was  a  detail  of  the  publishing  business. 

There  is  in  the  columns  of  The  Nation  (New  York),  June  29,  1916,  an 
article  by  myself  giving  the  results  of  some  investigation  of  the  original  manu- 
scripts of  the  Winthrop  novels.  Comparison  of  handwriting  and  a  study  of 
emendations  and  omissions  has  led  to  a  definite  result  in  determining  just 
who  did,  and  how  much  was  done  in,  the  editing  of  the  posthumous  works  in 
preparing  them  for  the  printer.
